I thought the PC would just be drawing power all the time, while the battery itself is being recharged all the time, so a switchover would not be an issue. Can't say much about the possible heat and charging cycles killing the battery though.

I'm glad power supply is stable nowadays, I can't remember the last time there was an unscheduled cut.

Just like your powerbank its not meant to be charged while being in use (discharging) at the same time, tho Im not sure if any designed for that. Even if you can switchover from outlet to battery I doubt its instantaneous like with a UPS. Your welcomed to try and let us know.

For me I only use UPS for my unifi and wifi... Not many affordable consumer ups can support off grid usage for a PC... Most can only last 10-20 mins for you to switch off safely

Usually when power outage in my area it will happened at least 3-4 hrs...

My recommendation just use ups for wifi..and use laptop when blackout

wahaha I just had an idea and wanted to discuss. After reading all this, no way i'm trying that. Don't need a UPS either since rarely power cut

any good brand for UPS?

Koss

Prolink
